Awful
Pros:

It’s cheap

Cons:

Don’t park here the ‘private’ parking is just the path infront of the hotel, there’s no cctv and my rear wiper was snapped off during the night. Manager didn’t care that it had happened either. Awful area.

Not bad!
Pros:

Not too far away from the city centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with storing my stuff. The toilettes were pretty clean and private. Rooms were clean and secure.

Cons:

A bit of damp and mould on the walls of the room, but that's about it.

Reunion Weekend.
Pros:

Old fashioned keys, instead of key cards - less likely to have your key card de-magnetised.
Quick walk to the Train Station and access to bus routes on London Road.

Charging points (plugs) too far away from bed.

Great value for an overnight stay
Pros:

Welcoming and helpful staff. Clean and tidy, comfortable bed.

Cons:

No sink in or adjacent to the toilet. Shared shower needs some attention, probably just a new shower head so a bit frustrating.

Pros:

Convenient location close to the train station. It was easy to find. Located away from the main road so there was no noise from the traffic.

Very basic room and amenities but you got what you need for a short stay.

Nothing exceptional but good enough as a budget option for me as I only needed a place to sleep for the night nearby the train station.

Cons:

No lock on the door from the inside of your room.

Early check out at 10am. I was aware of it when booking so it did not come as a surprise but find it too early.
